“Stuffed crust, King Kai! You can eat it in reverse!”

I got the Plex lifetime pass like 10 years ago, but just switched to Jellyfin over the weekend. It felt like every week Plex was asking me to re-pick my home page list and just insisted on re-adding their live streaming junk. Got tired of it. Reverse proxy is not hard to set up, and while there’s some encoding kinks to work out, it’s not like Plex was immune to those problems either.

From the Sailor Moon Roleplaying and Resource guide book, one of the first few “Big Eyes Small Mouth” books. The actual photo under the text in the book is Wiseman’s Skeletor head, which is pretty oddly placed.

The tri-stat system was as elegant as it was exploitable. It was so easy to blow up planets by taking entirely too many minor defects.

I become media aware in the late 80s and everything was looking up. We were getting over racism and sexism, getting better at including other, especially well established, long-present cultures in TV and movies and at the grocery store. We had thrown away the attitudes of the past and we were going to move forward as a better society, diverse but still uniquely proud of who we all were and the various places we all came from. The Internet was going to give us all access to the sum total of human knowledge to the benefit of all.

You can see how that’s turned out so far.

Neither do I, but it will put off a group of viewers. Obviously a legacy sequel show should be fan service, but S1/2 were so far off the mark it cones off as jarring in S3.

I thought S3 was pretty great, but admittedly because it gave me everything I was hoping it would. Not perfect. Certainly not something I can recommend to anyone who didn’t see the TNG movies when they were fresh. But to anyone who did suffer through that cast getting trotted out into a series of terrible, grim, geriatric action movies, S3 is fantastic.

Season 1 is awful. Season 2 is awful. Both have the occasional high point that is pretty much entirely unearned.

Season three is a clunky, but well meaning apology for the previous two seasons and all of the TNG movies. It’s fan service, yes, but compared to seasons 1 and 2 it is Shakespeare. Actors get to act. Some actual drama between characters that never got a real chance to have those scenes before. Like “All Good Things” it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough to be a satisfying ending.
